Thanksgiving Work Week

Last year we wanted to have a Thanksgiving work week. A week in which as many houses as possible are built for those that need them. We had three takers and three houses were built. This year we started pushing this week a bit earlier. We have 28 people from Middle Tennessee State and Georgia

here this week and 11 houses will be built. To date, seven of those are already complete and two more will be done today as well as the regular Wednesday dump feeding.

One lady for whom a house was built has a handicapped son. One house will have 13 people living in it when it is complete. One man has no legs. Each story is sad. Some of the houses are to replace existing houses. If you can call something made out of plastic and sticks a house. The group comes in exhausted each night. Each person has been touched by some thing or some one at the job site. As tired as they are at night, they are ready to go at it again by the next morning.

Tomorrow we will have a Thanksgiving feast as the groups takes a short break to play with the children at Casa de Esperanza. And then Friday it is back to work.

Marc regularyly says it has been another great day in Honduras. This is not only another great day in Honduras, but a great week.
